Chapter 153
"Albert..." Krista called to him.
"Darlin', I'm right here, just like I promised. Everything's gonna to be all right. Let them put you in bed and they'll leave and if you can stand it I'll hold you," whispered AJ as he kissed her.
"Oils...hurt...hold me..."
"Do you want your oils, is that it?"
"Yes tummy...please..." a single tear slid down her cheek.
Looking through her oils he found the one he needed. Opening the bottle and pouring some in his hand he rubbed them together then lifted her gown and began to gently rub her tummy and down around where he could see the plaster that the Doctor had used to fill the tiny holes.
She sighed as the oils began to work and she smiled at him, "Thank you, my love... that helps so much..." she sighed again at the feel of his strong hands on her.
"Can you roll over on your side? The Doctor said six holes and I'm only counting four so that leaves two somewhere and I need to rub some oil on those other two holes."
"Ummm...roll no...could lift with legs..." she tried to lift her butt off the bed and managed to get it up about two inches off the mattress.
Finding the other two holes he rubbed the oil all around the area the best he could. Then gently lowered her and covered her. Tenderly kissing her, he asked, "Feeling better, Darlin', or is there something else I can do to help ease your pain?"
"Yes, the pain is easing, you could kiss me..." she sighed
"Anything you want, my love," he whispered as he leaned down and passionately kissed the woman that had come out of major surgery only moments ago. Never would he argue about her oils for pain again.
"Love you! Albert! Babies ok?" she gasped, she had almost forgotten the babies!
"I love you, too, Darlin'. I talked with Dr. Vossen and he said a monitor was hooked up to them the whole time and the heartbeats were strong and steady. So our babies are very healthy indeed. All you have to do is lay back and get well," he smiled caressing her cheek.
She smiled at him.
Meanwhile on the other side of the room, Tom told Krystal, "I'm right here baby!"
"Oh, Tom, it hurts so bad!"
"Tom, is Kris all right? She cried out."
"Damn it! Give her something for the pain!" he demanded. "Don't worry darling it'll be better soon. AJ's taking care of Krista."
Grabbing Tom's hand in a death grip, "Tom, order the nurse to bring me something for pain, please."
"I did, darling, she will in just a minute, I promise!" he held her hand and prayed that her death grip would ease so he could get feeling back in his hand.
Turning loose of Tom's hand and gripping the rails of the bed, Krystal bit down on her lip waiting for the nurse to come. "Sweetheart I would rather sacrifice my hand then your lip..." he took hers again and then gently kissed her so she would stop biting it
"I'm fine...Check on Kris be sure she's alright!"
Tom looked up in time to hear Krista's request for a kiss, "She's demanding kisses-I think she is doing fine."
"Kissing! She was yelling in pain not long ago. Did they bring her pain shot? Where the hell is mine!"
"No one has been in here darling, just AJ rubbing in her oils...shall I get some for you?"
"Tom, just get me something and get me something fast. I don't care what it is, please!"
"AJ! I need those oils over here!"
"What? Tom, what did you want?" AJ asked
"AJ, she's in agony! What did you do to Krista? Krys needs help!"
"I used her oils on her and it eased the pain. Let me check and see if there's enough for the two of them. If not, we need to go back to the store," he answered.
"Help Krys she's in pain, Albert."
"Do you have enough oils, Krista?" he asked concerned.
"Yes, I gave Tom a list, he should have enough to mix more if he got them from the shop."
